Uncollected Blood
“The door was wide open and the light from the hall had caught someone. Their shadow sat patiently on the wall. Paul hesitated and wondered.

He knew it was too late to simply sneak up on the person. He’d stayed far too long in one place after having been so busy gathering up all the hiking gear he’d scattered across his apartment the last time he went for a hike. He had walked in more than ten minutes ago, and made all kinds of a ruckus before he had noticed their loomin...g shadow.
He tried to think of something cool and calm to shout out to get the person to reveal him or herself, but Paul knew he’d probably just embarrass himself.

Meanwhile, he started digging for his Leatherman knife, it wouldn’t do too much damage, but at least he wasn’t unarmed.MoreLess
